So on Thursday, anami and I got up early and drove to Salt Lake City. It was about a thirteen hour trip, mostly crossing desert. It was ok. We got in pretty late and went straight to bed.

As in 2008, I still think I can be a better husband, and a better person. I've been a pretty good pacifist, but I think I can up my commitment, if I can only figure out what that means for me personally.
